My prayers have been answered!!! Have you ever seen someone committing a fashion crime so heinous that you wanted to arrest them on the spot yourself? Unfortunately, you can’t, and it isn’t exactly polite to say “So you do know that you look like an idiot with those boot cut jeans and that over sized button down, right?” Well GQ magazine comes through for the male race yet again so that now all you have to say is “So….GQ.com.” Their new “Undateable” article is spot on and an instant classic. It gives gentlemen a blueprint on what not to wear, unless your purpose is to never attract the opposite sex. Check out my top three tips from the list below and see the entire article and slide show here.

1. Sports Jerseys: Only acceptable at a sporting event. Actually, we take that back. This whole look is just plain queer. And by queer we don’t mean gay. A gay man would never be caught dead in one. They make you look like a big, lumbering seven-year-old.

2. Sunglasses Indoors or at Night: Comedian Larry David put it best… “You know who wears sunglasses inside? Blind people and assholes.”

3. Tighty Whities: Just plain creepy.

I really love books and magazines. Vogue, GQ, fiction, autobiographies, and even books for dummies. I love them all. I sometimes find myself in Barnes and Noble for hours just browsing through the aisles. I end up sitting at a table with a dozen books and mags to look through but on my most recent visit, I decided to pick some things up. As it stands, I’m an upwardly mobile business man…But I want to be a business…Man! Knowledge is power and I realized there is only but so much knowledge I can gain if I don’t actually leave the store with books to read at my leisure. So I did just that. I picked up 3 books on business and just success in general:

1: The Lords of Strategy: The Secret Intellectual History of the New Corporate World by Walter Kiechel III

2: Money Talks Bullsh*t Walks by Ben Johnson

3: Never Eat Alone and Other Secrets to Success, One Relationship at a Time by Keith Ferrazzi with Tahl Raz

As I read these books, I’ll be taking notes and posting useful information from time to time so stay tuned. That is, if you don’t go out n get these books yourself. Oh and I picked up the newest GQ Magazine as well. It features Kobe Bryant, Drake, and even McLovin himself, Christopher Mintz-Plasse. I had to have it… *Kanye Shrug*

We are officially one month into the new year. If you’re anything like me, you already had it in your head that 2010 was going to be a great year for you. If you are ME than you’ve gotten off to a slow start due to the fact that you haven’t quite shaken off all of the prior years bad habits just yet. Well you’ve still got time to change and grab this year by the horns and GQ Magazine will tell you how. Although it is a magazine for gentlemen, the GQ 10 Point Plan for 2010 can be applied to females as well. You just need to know how to flip the script so that it fits into your lifestyle. This 10 point plan covers everything from eating properly to self grooming. Some of the key points are self sufficiency, productivity, confidence, and being well rounded. This has got to be one of the most helpful articles I have ever come across and I’m most definitely going to print it out and take heed. I suggest you do the same…

I have no clue where this year went but there is no time for me to dwell on that because I’ve got all of 2010 to look forward to! But before that, Holiday shopping must be tackled seeing how Christmas is in less than a month. I did a little research so that I could make the task of gift searching easier for all. It seems like every website that sells a product has put together their own gift guide so that your shopping can be completed with just a few clicks. J.Crew has got  the gifts for your children covered for as low as $25. It’s best to take advantage of recession proof gifts like the girls jersey turtleneck or the boys suede gloves. Looks good on your wallet as well as the children in your family. Neiman Marcus even got into the Christmas spirit and compiled a hefty list of gifts for her, below $100. Whether it’s assorted chocolates or a Tory Burch cosmetics bag, women just tend to love anything from Neiman’s so get on it. While these gift guides are great, my favorite has to be GQ Mag’s. They included gifts for pretty much everyone in your life, including yourself. The list consists of 50 gift ideas ranging from cashmere scarves to Canon cameras. Check it out here and try not to go crazy this year hunting for the perfect gifts!

Gentlemen…If there’s one thing you should know as a man, that would be the worth of a good suit. And by worth, I don’t mean monetary worth. I am referring to the value of the suit to your wardrobe and everyday life. Suits aren’t all business, guys. The right suit can take you from the office, to a date, on a walk in the park, or even to a party. It can be worn with sneakers and no tie as well as with wingtips and a crisp white button-down shirt. When choosing the right suit, it isn’t necessary to spend $3000. You are NOT Bruce Wayne. If you’re having trouble finding a suit that fits your body as well as your needs, have no fear. GQ Magazine has put together an online segment in which they display great suits for under $500. Check it out here. Take notes gentlemen and ladies as well. A nice suit for the man in your life will surely put a smile on his face.
